[XPERIA X8 General] mister2b:
Hi Guys,

This morning I installed my firts custom rom for my X8 -[ROM] X8 | Sense | 2.1 | 2.2 | 2.3 | xRecovery [WiP]

Hackdroid 2.2.1

I was then asked for a SIM Network Unlock PIN.

Are there any working roms for the X8 that are already unlocked to different carriers?

Cheers
[XPERIA X8 General] LuisDias:
Sim Network Unlock Pin has nothing to do with the roms.. You need to unlock your phone, so this warning could disappear.. :D

Correct me if I'm wrong.. xD

(sorry for my bad english)
[XPERIA X8 General] manutdsnake:
You can't unlock your phone by installing ROMs,network lock is in bootloader,and it isn't cracked yet.
[XPERIA X8 General] mister2b:
Maybe I didn't make myself clear. My phone works fine with se version 2.1 after installing this rom it asks for the network code. so, I reinstalled from my backup and my phone works again. If I understand what you have written, my phone wouldn't work even with the original android.
[XPERIA X8 General] fifo171:
it happened to me too but i pressed cancel and everything works :D
[XPERIA X8 General] esirad:

[XPERIA X8 General] mister2b:
You gave me the idea of trying again. Second time I installed the rom, i pressed cancelled it and the call functions worked.

On a more trivial note - angry birds won't install.

i got a SE on 2.1, sim locked to vodaphone, how can i remove the lock/.. i need help ..:(
[XPERIA X8 General] kakawo:
sorry.... you can´t for now for free, only paid sites can provide you that code based on your IMEI i think... or wait while someone crack the bootloader (i dont think its gonna be soon :D)
[XPERIA X8 General] geko1966:
just a quicky....i just solved the problem, by switching of the device, took out the battery, the sim card...waited for about 10 secs.....put the sim back in, the batteri and started up the device....e voila....no Sim Network Unlock Pin question anymore...hope it helps!!!;)
[XPERIA X8 General] corsav6:
There is no need to take out battery and wait and all that ****, press the dismiss button.

@geko, why you digging up old threads?
[XPERIA X8 General] rapchan:
I have the same problem (twice in fact). But both times started when I flashed a new kernel. My X8 is a E15a, and the kernels here are for E15i.

As corsav6 mentioned, no big deal for me. Just hitting Dismiss and everything gets OK. I had no problem with network or wifi.

Don't know if you are using stock kernel, but for me it happened only after flashing a new one. You could try to revert yours...
[Nook Color General] lbthomsen:
Hi Everybody,

First of all - please accept my apologies if this question has been asked before. I have searched the forum and I wasn't able to solve my problem in any way described (that I could find that is).

Second, and I know this sound stupid, but I honestly do not know what I did wrong and where I ****ed up. I have rooted my stock NC and it worked fine. I have also played around a lot with the Froyo from SD - and that too worked fine. Today I decided to give the CyanogenMod version on the built-in flash and that too went OK and it was running perfectly. At some point I accidently managed to boot it half-way up on a flash card and now the NC is half dead.

The NC still boot fine on the Froyo sd card and on the recovery flash I used to install the CyanogenMod, but without a flash card inserted, the NC is completely dead. I can press and hold the on/off button as much as I like, I can hold the nook button while doing on/off - nothing - and I do mean nothing happens.

I have tried the the flash stock-1.0.1-CRW.2.zip recovery that install a new /boot and it installs fine - but still - the moment I remove the SD card, the NC is dead again.

Any ideas? I feel I have tried pretty much everything.
[Nook Color General] lbthomsen:
Solved!

Managed to solve that one myself. The trick was to use the second image not the first one:

[Nook Color General] eyecrispy:
You said you booted it up on a flash card? CM7 is not meant to be bootable on flash card.
[Nook Color General] lbthomsen:
No, after playing around with an installed CM7 it got to a point where all of a sudden it was completely dead without a flash card (not even a small flash on the screen when powering on/off) but with my Froyo 2.2 card inserted it booted just fine.

As it turned out I think I know what happened (basically because I just did it again). I used the CM7 "Format Flash" to prepare a clean flash card for storage - but when I do that it screws up the internal system (probably the /boot partition).

Anyway - the recovery flash that uses dd to copy the entire partition worked just fine.
[Android Software Development] Albertus360:
I have been looking through many and many foros and apps BUT I'm still missing the FUNTIONALITIES of the SENSE clock :( ,

I mean: STOP watch, chrono, alarms... so simple and so easy

You need to install at least 2 or 3 more apps to get the same...

Thats a shame...

As far as I know the sense clock is part of the SESNSE system and can't be ported to any other ROM. cause is not the widget only is the system...

Is it so dificult ? :confused:

Thanks.
[Android Software Development] Albertus360:
Well finally afet many searches I got IT in two different app

First: Iclock - has all the same than sense clock inside

Second:Sense analog clock, just awesome, much better than beautifull widget one cause lower use of battery + you can link it with Iclock just tapping it, in fact you can get different infos dependint where you tap.. weather forecast, sistem info or Iclock

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Deehee3:
Hi,

first of all, I'm no Dev and I (for now) don't know much about Android...

Wanted to post this into DEV-related Forums, but I can't coz of my little post-count (I just registered yesterday)

But I am very interested in flashing/downgrading and just play around with Video Game Consoles Firmware such as PSP, Xbox(360), PS3 and so on.

In 2005/2006 (early years of the PSP) it was not yet possible to downgrade to older or install Custom Firmwares on PSP for the ability to run homebrew, but there was a nice workaround called "Devhook" or "Devicehook".

Trough Devhook it was possible to emulate firmware Image stored on MemoryStick.

Would something like this not be an opinion to run our Android Devices as "multiboot" or , maybe, run an custom Bootloader on locked down devices like U20i?

I mean we are already able to install custom ROMs on our Devices, we are able to boot into xrecovery, nearly full access (?!?!) to the nand?

Would it not be possible to have one firmware/bootloader in the Nand and one ore multiple Firmwares/Bootloader on SD, Boot into a menue (like booting into xrecovery) and choose which one to load at next Startup?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Camogyp:
I am also interested in the question how to organize multiboot through xRecovery?

I don't see HSPL on that bootloader screen. Try extracting the .nbh file from the shipped ROM and putting THAT on your sdcard. When you execute the .exe you download, it puts a copy of all the files (including the .nbh) in the same directory; these will be deleted later, but you can simply copy it to another location while the updater is working.

Are you sure you tried to flash the original, "native" stock ROM via SD card?

The picture you attached to the first posting clearly showed SPL 1.42.0000, means, you could not flash any custom or non-"native"-ROM to your device. Even if, flashing an "official" factory ROM via SD card deletes HSPL.

Maybe you try again from scratch?

Download HSPL4.exe, install SPL version 2.08.HSPL (not 2.08.0000) on your device, try again to flash Dutty´s ROM.

It's Remote Web by SmartDog Studio (not mine or connected to in any way)

I have an ePad (Android 2.1) that mounts usb devices in the normal Linux way so that I can use libusb to access them, I have managed to control my usb robot arm using an NDK app. Before I move onto making it a proper app instead of a hack job I wanted to know if the usb device files are standard to Android or if it's specific to my system.

Put it this way, if I make a nice cuddly app is it going to fail on most devices or work on most devices? (ones with USB OTG interface)

Sorry, I understand this could be a 'how long is a piece of string' type of question.:)

After a few hours of routing about on the internet I found an article on an exploit on the init daemon, google "android-root-source-code-looking-at-the-c-skills". This gave enough insight for me to deduce that this functionality I am getting is present on at least anything running 2.1 and above and is not a customisation unique to my device.

Hi,

All of those are inside Contacts.apk, courtesy of Samsung's crap touchwiz:

the blue bar (either or both, I don't remember anymore): /res/drawable-hdpi-finger - status_bar_header_background.9.png & winset_selectall_bg.9

the plus sign button/background: /res/drawable - btn_search_dialog_voice_default.9.png etc (3 total for the different states)

the actual plus sign: /res/drawable-hdpi - btn_create.png & btn_create_press.png

Hope that helps,

Cheers, =)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] thachosenone:
I was able to change the plus sign background, but not the bar that goes across the screen behind it. I changed what you told me to, soniqu3, but it didn't seem to change it.

What other file could this be?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s0niqu3:
Hi again,

Sorry about that, yet another instance of crap-wiz being horribly inconsistent.

FYI, that blue-bar style throughout touchwiz is *usually* the status_bar_header, or winset_selectall I mentioned before.

Of course, here in contacts, even though it already had *BOTH* of those drawables, they added a third (that I forgot I had changed too, sorry.)

/res/drawable/search_plate_global.9.png

FYI (not that you care) I utterly despise touchwiz with a passion, and will never buy another samsung phone because of it. They should be calling these resources from framework-res.apk, or at the very worst, their own, twframework-res.apk, instead of cluttering the system by embedding them in every stupid app.

Ugh, seriously annoying.

Anyway, rant over, hope that fixes it.

Cheers, =)

Thanks for the help! I just ended up using contacts.apk from the scarlett leftovers theme. Made it dark transparent. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snissim:
Hoping a kind soul can help a total fool who should have left well alone!

I have a UK Samsung Galaxy S I9000 phone that was unlocked by the previous owner but still had all the "3" branding which I wanted to remove. I was already on ver 2.2 (updated via Kies) although I don't know the exact revision.

After lots of reading (obviously not enough) I followed a guide to reflash via Odin v1.7 to I9000XWJS3 using separate files for PIT (803), PDA, PHONE and CSC. The guide said to tick Re-partition on which might have been the cause of my problem.

Needless to say after the flash, I got the error message "Can't mount /dev/block/st110" and subsequent reboots just give me a black screen. I still had access to the download mode so I tried another posts solution to fix the black screen starting with a flash to I9000XXJPC with a 512 pit and re-partition again. This time the odin process started but no progress bar materialised. After a very long while I disconnected. Thankfully I can still enter the download mode but this time am hoping someone with more knowledge is willing to help me though the process of recovering my phone if its still possible.

Just looking for any stock UK firmware and then I will let Kies update from now on.

Many Thanks

[Solved]

For those that want a quick summary of what restored my phone. Flashing I9000XXJPC with a 512 pit clicking re-partition.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00ndu:
You still can use xxjpc, with repartition ticked. Many a times, odin will fail for no reasons. Try again, but make sure you close Kies completely.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snissim:
Thanks g00ndu. You gave me the courage to re-run xxjpc again by confirming I was on the right track and this time it worked. Small donation on its way for helping me recover my phone.

I have one further question though. Can someone confirm if the I9000XXJPC firmware is for the UK? I hope to only use Kies from now on but it now says "the version of the device cannot be updated". I am using the latest version 2.0.0.11014_49.

Thanks again

Edit - Kies lists the current firmware version as PDA:JPC / PHONE:JPC / CSC:JPC (KOR). Something tells me I have the wrong country firmware. If anyone can provide a link to the correct one and the Odin settings I should use it would be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snissim:
Still trying to get a solution to this and have noticed that my product code in Kies registry entry is GT-I9000HKDKOR. I am wondering if this is because I used a wrong CSC file?

Thanks snapper.fishes. I am now downloading I9000XXJPU (512.Pit) - hopefully this one is correct as some of the downloads for 2.2.1 show (803.Pit). As there are no instructions with this I assume I don't click re-partition. Is this correct?

This is almost soul destroying....

I ran the update "I9000XXJPU (512.Pit)" as mentioned above and it flashed successfully. I am now on 2.2.1

Re-plugged in the usb cable and no windows popup to view the sd contents and nothing in "My Computer". Kies recognises something has been plugged in but remains on "connecting" - the phone itself shows the usb graphic and "connected".

I then went into Settings -> About Phone and there is no USB Settings option.

And just to rub it in I typed in *2767*4387264636# as per the wiki guide on here to view the Product code and it's still on Korea GT-I9000HKDKOR.

Edit - Have now tried *#1234# and the phone says:

PDA: I9000XXJPU

PHONE: I9000XXJPU

CSC: I9000OXAJPU

Not even sure if this bit helps
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snissim:
In case this is a help to other novices like me with the wrong product code. I found the following info and you don't need to be rooted to run it:

E.g. Changing CSC to XEU: Note - this will only work if the multiCSC was used when firmware was flashed

Type *#272*IMEI# and select XEU to install. (to check IMEI: *#06#)

Phone will reset to the default setting (perform a backup beforehand if req)

XEU = UK's product code

As for the USB issue (no USB Settings menu option in About Phone), is this just a change in the 2.2.1 menus? I noticed a USB Settings menu in "Wireless and network" and they have changed how this works. Kies still refuses to connect to the phone, but maybe this is just Kies.

Couldn't boot up after this or get to recovery. Went into download mode and tried to reflash factory firmware. JL2 Andriod 2.2 for Bell Canada I9000.
